AB 944

This bill expands the fee remission program for certain veterans enrolled in

University of Wisconsin System schools or technical colleges to include fee remission

for nondegree courses.

Under current law, veterans who meet certain criteria are eligible for full

remission of resident student academic fees or nonresident student tuition at UW

System schools, and of fees at technical colleges, for up to eight semesters or 128

credits, whichever is longer. For purposes of this fee remission for UW resident

students, “academic fees" means the amount charged to a resident student to enroll

in a degree credit course, including the University of Wisconsin-Madison Executive

MBA Program. For purposes of this fee remission for technical college students,

“fees" means the amount charged to a resident student to enroll in a course leading

to an associate degree, collegiate transfer, or vocational diploma.

This bill expands the definition of “academic fees” for purposes of this fee

remission for UW resident students to include the amount charged to a resident

student to enroll in a noncredit course or certificate program, including the

University of Wisconsin-Madison Certified Public Manager Program. The bill also

expands the definition of “fees” for purposes of the fee remission for technical college

students to include the amount charged to a resident student to enroll in a noncredit

course.
